Abstract
A connector assembly includes mating plug and socket. The plug includes a unitary insulative casing for receiving a holder retaining first contact blades. A filling material is filled into the casing of the plug for completely shielding and securing the first contact blades. The socket includes a unitary insulative casing for receiving and retaining second contact blades therein. A filling material is filled into the casing of the socket for shielding and securing the second contact blades. The first and second contact blades engage each other when the plug and socket mate with each other for establishing electrical connection therebetween. Filling operation of the filling materials is performed by means of automatized machines thereby enhancing the manufacturing operation thereof.
